Talking about Rasheed Wallace is completely pointless.

If I tell you he ticked me off with how he played last night- you're not surprised. If I tell you he actually played good defense and had a solid game- your somewhat surprised but say, "okay good". I have written in article after article on days after Sheed has a good game that, "He played well and we really hope he can keep it up for the remainder of the season like this, and into the playoffs."

It is the same old song and dance. Right after I get done praising him (game against the Rockets) he comes out the next day and all but tries to hand the game to Dallas. His defense on Dirk was atrocious. It is not so much that he played bad defense (because he does all the time) but that he played bad defense against a guy he talked crap about. Isn't there at least a hint of external motivation to play good d? I thought there was, but I was wrong.

Anyway, I am not going to sit here and pick a part his game because chances are tomorrow in the game against Utah he will come out and have a good game. This is just what I mean... It is getting old having to read the Rasheed up and down stories, and it is getting old writing them as well. I guess I just have to get used to the fact that for now, we just have to deal with it. I can express my emotion on what I think about the way he played last night, but all it is, is a 180 degree turn on what I said yesterday.. OR the exact thing I said 3 days ago. You get my point, that it is a never ending saga.
